Email Security That Works For Business Partners and Customers
Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server makes it possible to secure email messages with diverse users outside your own messaging environment. It employs a variety of email encryption standards including OpenPGP, S/MIME and SSL for web-based email security. Features include the following:

  • the email security system automatically collects and centrally stores external users' digital identities (IDs) to enable email security that is transparent to users
  • senders need only know the email address of an intended recipient
  • email messages are secured in accordance with OpenPGP and S/MIME standards to provide interoperability with external users
  • Alternative Web-based email security: organizations whose external correspondents may not have digital certificates, OpenPGP or S/MIME capabilities can securely reach recipients using a Web browser and common Web-based email services

Boundary-based Email Security

Many organizations are concerned with the security of email messages leaving their internal boundary destined for external recipients. Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server makes it possible to automatically encrypt email before it is delivered to external recipients without requiring any additional desktop software or end-user action. Whether or not an outbound email is encrypted is determined by an encryption policy either on the Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server itself, or on a separate content scanner such as Vericept Protect. For example, you can set up a policy that causes Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server to encrypt emails containing certain keywords, addressed to specific domains, contain privacy-protected information, or that have attachments containing corporate intellectual property.

  • supports most email environments, including Lotus Domino® and Microsoft Exchange®
  • works with leading content scanning products including Vericept Protect
  • does not require the deployment of additional desktop software
  • provides email security without requiring end-user action

Simplified User Experience
Email security works best if it requires little to no action on the part of the user. Using Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server, senders only need to know the email address of the recipient. They do not need to know what encryption method the email recipient prefers, or need to have the recipient's email security credentials (digital certificates or OpenPGP keys) before sending an encrypted email message.

  • senders need only know the email address of intended recipients
  • where appropriate, external users' digital identities (IDs) are automatically collected and centrally stored by Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server to enable email security that is transparent to end users
  • works with the Research in Motion (RIM) BlackBerry™ platform to extend the ability to encrypt messages to BlackBerry deployments
  • supports delivery of secure webmail to any browser-enabled cell phone

Email Security Integrated With Content Control
Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server can integrate with content monitoring and control technology to provide encryption of content that is identified as sensitive by the content control software. Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server enables encryption to be applied to sensitive messages both in transit through email communications and while at rest in users' inboxes or on mail servers. The combination of Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server and Vericept Protect enables organizations to:

  • enforce email security policies through automatic detection and encryption of sensitive information
  • protect sensitive email while in transit and while stored in inboxes and on mail servers
  • perform content monitoring and remediation on both inbound and outbound email messages

Regulatory Compliance Through Encryption
Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server helps to comply with the increasing number of industry, state and federal regulations around the protection (through encryption) of sensitive data such as the personal identifiable information (PII) of customers, patients, partners and citizens.

  • Avoid regulatory penalties and benefit from encryption safe harbors when communicating sensitive or regulated information over email.
  • Automatically detect and encrypt sensitive or regulated information when using Entrust Entelligence Messaging Server in conjunction with existing content monitoring products or Vericept Protect.
